ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Fitta agenda for meetings for the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Sen. Adolfo Urso, who between Wednesday and Thursday will have a series of bilaterals with the 6 European Commissioners with delegations related to the main dossiers of industrial, energy and technological policy of the Union. “It needs a step change in Brussels, an offensive against the ideological approach of the Green Deal that is affecting the growth and competitiveness of our continent. It is necessary to act now!” Minister Urso said. “Italy calls for action for a Europe that combines transition and growth. Only with concrete industrial policies that enhance the technological neutrality and the productive specificities of each country, Europe will have a future in the international scenario,” he added. “They comfort us – said Urso – the openings of President von der Leyen on the choice to speed up the revision of the regulation on CO2 emissions standards for cars, as we had already asked last year. They finally give us reason.”.
In detail, on Wednesday in Brussels, Minister Urso will first meet Vice-President Henna Virkkunen, with delegation to technological sovereignty, security and democracy, to deepen the themes of digital transition, artificial intelligence and semiconductors. It will follow a meeting with Commission Vice-President Raffaele Fitto, with delegation to cohesion and reforms, for a comparison on PNRR and new industrial development objectives. The Minister will then see Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, Head of Defense and Space, in view of the Ministerial Council of the European Space Agency of 27 November, and then Vice-President Stéphane Séjourné, owner of the portfolio for Industry, Internal Market and SMEs, for a comparison on the automotive dossiers, 2040 strategy and technological supply.
The meeting will close the day with Vice-President Wopke Hoekstra, responsible for climate, to discuss decarbonization policies and competitiveness mechanisms related to CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and ETS (Emissions Trading System). The meetings will continue the following day in Rome, where Minister Urso will meet the Vice-President of the European Commission MaroÜ isefcovic to continue the discussion on industrial policy and competitiveness, with the aim of international trade and protection to ensure European companies from unfair behaviour of foreign players. The meetings follow the European Council last week, which marked a step forward in the common policies on green transition and industrial competitiveness. Italy, with President Giorgia Meloni, reaffirmed a pragmatic line based on technological neutrality, which allows each country to achieve climate objectives with different instruments, without rigidity or ideologies.
A position relaunching the contents of the Italian-German document signed on 6 October by Mimit with Ministry of Economy and Energy, in view of the EU strategic dialogue on the car, for a green transition that is really sustainable from the environmental, social and industrial point of view: a breakthrough shared by the majority of European countries and which finds wide consensus in the associations of European companies that will be in November in Rome in the Trilateral Italy France Germany promoted by Confindustria.
